Gombak Nicks Aussie Gem

Unknown 21-year-old defensive midfielder Goran Subara, from the NSW Super League, has signed a one year deal with S-League club Gombak United.

Gombak general manager Lawrence Lau tells au.fourfourtwo.com that the young Aussie has impressed the coaching staff at the club despite being a virtual unknown in his homeland.

“He’s looking good,” he said. “We headhunted him. We’re aware he played in the lower leagues with Bonnyrigg but you can sometimes find gems from these leagues.”

Subara played the last three seasons at Bonnyrigg before leaving the club last season. With few options in Australia, a meeting with former Socceroo Milan Blagojevic smoothed the way for him to get a shot playing professionally in an Asian league.
